Gluten-Free Banana Donuts
Unlike other gluten-free donuts, these babies have very little sugar (only two tablespoons of maple syrup!), almost no oil AND they don't have any xathan or guar gum.
Servings: 8 donuts
Calories: 273kcal
Ingredients
for the donuts:
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 small banana
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup quinoa flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
for the glaze:
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
for the optional toppings:
- Shredded coconut
- Slivered almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a donut pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Into the blender, add the wet ingredients as well as the banana. Blend on low until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients and blend using the Salsa/Dip setting on your BlendTec Designer 725 blender until completely smooth. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes before baking.
- Fill the donut rounds 2/3 of the way full. Bake on the center rack for 10 - 11 minutes until a toothpick inserted into one of the donuts comes out clean.
- Turn out donuts onto a wire rack and cool for 10 - 15 minutes.
- While cooling, prepare the glaze by melting the chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Whisk in the cocoa powder. Dunk the donuts into the glaze, letting the extra drip off and then roll them into your desired toppings.
- Cool completely before enjoying.
